Auditors are approved for 24 months. Two months before expiration, the Auditor shall submit the 24

hours CPD log and three EICC audits with supporting documentation. Once the “EICC Qualification/CPD

Log” is accepted, the Auditor is approved to conduct EICC audits in their assigned category for 24

additional months.

If the approved/accepted CPD hours is less than 24 hours within the 24 months, or less than three EICC

audits within the 24 months, approval to participate in EICC audits ends. However, Auditors have a 2-

month window to complete the 24 CPD hours. If Auditors do not fulfill the 24 CPD hours and/or the three

EICC audits after the 2-month grace period, their approval is terminated.

To become re-approved, they must attend the “The EICC Code of Conduct (CoC) Training” again or

attempt to take the corresponding “EICC Qualification Test” directly (provided the Auditor has at least

conducted one EICC VAP Initial/Renewal audit). Should the Auditor not pass the test, the Auditor will

have to take the EICC Code Training. For cost and training dates, visit the EICC website.

There are categories of an “EICC Qualification Test”:

a. Provisional Auditor – A test with multiple choice and short answer questions (two hours)

b. Auditor – A test with short answer questions (two hours)

c. Lead Auditor – A test with short answer questions (two hours) and a telephone interview (45

minutes) during the processing phase of application
